COFFEE-POT.

Specicaton of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 27, 1917.

Application led January 15, 1915. Serial No. 2,473.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JosnrI-I B. HoRsLEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Coffee-Pots, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and vexact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to coffee pots of the kind designed for the preparation and serving of coffee.

The object of my invention is to provide a coiee pot for the preparation of coffee in the use of which the strength and aroma of the bean are fully preserved in the liquid product, andthe making of the latter is, moreover, greatly expedited.

An additional object of my invention is to provide a coffee potV for the preparation and serving of coffee, wherein the vessel designed for use at the table is not soiled by coming into contact with stove or flames during` the preparation of the beverage, and which will not, therefore, damage or soil the table linen when set upon the table for service.

Further objects of my invention will appear from the following detailed description thereof.

In the several figures of the drawings like numeralsindicate like parts.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a central vertical section of my new coffee pot;

Fig. 2 is a top view thereof;

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the upper portion of said coEee pot;

Fig. l is a detail ofthe lifter to. be used in connection withv my new coffee pot for removing the inner, percolating vessel after the coffee has been prepared.

The numeral 1 indicates a vessel of any suitable shape and material, preferably of aluminum or enamel ware. The said vessel is designed to be used upon a stove for the purpose of heating and boiling water. A handle 2 is provided on said vessel. The upper edge, or rim, of said vessel is formed into an inturned flange, or shoulder 3, which is adapted to serve as a rest for the shoulder l of a vessel 5, the lower part of the vessel 5 being arranged to extend downwardly into the vessel 1 and into the'water contained in said vessel 1, as clearly shown in Fig. of the drawings. Extending entirely aroundvthe vessel 5, near the upper edge, or rim, thereof, is a flange 6, which is arranged, to serve .as a rest for the outturned flange 7 of the'percolating vessel 8.

vided as a covering therefor.

On the lid 11, at opposite sides thereof, are lips 12, either of which is adapted to serve as a covering for the spout 9 of the vessel 5. On the outside of the vessel 5, at opposite sides thereof, are lugs 13, arranged to serve as catches for the lips v12 to hold the lid 11 on the vessel, 5, when the spoutl 9 is uncovered for use, as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. To provide for this purpose the lugs 13 are preferably placed on a diameter at lright angles to that of the-spout' 9 and handle 10, and the free, or engaging end, 14, of each lug is turned toward the handle 10, so that when the vessel 5 is tilted to pour. they coffee, the lid'will not be permitted to fall from the vessel.

On the inside of the vessel S, at opposite sides and near the top thereof, are lugs 15, suitable to be used in lifting the vessel 8 from the vessel 5, by means of the utensil 16 illustrated in Fig. l of the drawings, after the beverage has been prepared.

From the foregoing description the nature and use of 'my' new coffee pot will be apparentto those skilled in the art. When it is desired to prepare .coffee for use, the vessel 1 is filled to a suitable depth with water and placed upon the stove'. Vhen this has been done, the ground coffeefis placed in the vessel 8A and water in vessel 5,-and the parts assembled as clearly shown in the drawings. The heat necessary for the preparation of the beverage is thus applied through the agency of the water in the outer vessel 1, and the vessel 5 containing the desired product is consequently prevented from coming into Contact with either stove or fiame and the same is thus unsoiled when removed from the vessel l for use as a part of the table service. In this method of applying the heat, moreover, I nd that the strength and aroma of the coffee is efectually preserved and a superiorl beverage prepared with great facility and expedition. Before pouring the coffee from the vessel 5, the inner ground-containing vessel 8 is, of course removed, and thus only the liquid beverage is brought to the table for use.

It Will be understood that many obvious modifications of the details as above described may be made, and that such are Within the purvievv of my invention and the scope of the appended claim. It is obvious, furthermore, that other beverages, as for instance, tea, may be prepared equally Well by the use of the invention as described, and that the principle of the device as thus employed is unchanged, and I therefore consider the saine as Within the scope 0f my said invention.

Having thus described my invention,

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In combination With an outer vessel for boiling Water, a second vessel arranged to rest in said outer vessel and to extend into the Water therein, said second vessel being adapted to contain a liquid of which abeverage is to be made, a spout on said second vessel, a percolating vessel arranged t0 rest in said second vessel and to extend into the liquid therein, a lid to cover said second vessel and said percolating vessel, a lip on said lid adapted to cover said spout, and means on said second vessel adapted to engage said lip When the same is removed from said spout to prevent said lid from falling from said vessel during the tilting thereof.
